18th Century and Romantic Literature

 

The Eighteenth-Century and Romantic Studies Seminar is a research forum for those interested in the literature and culture of the period 1660 to 1830. It welcomes postgraduate students and teaching and research staff both from around Cambridge University (be that the English Faculty or other departments) and from beyond. Students and academics of all kinds, from postdoctoral researchers to professors, present papers for round-table discussion over drinks.
